The Best Way To Protect Aging Brain
Dear Reader,
How can you stay mentally healthy as you get older? Contrary to what you might think... being frail and suffering mental decline are not normal parts of aging. What we are learning is that being physically active trumps being mentally active when it comes to staying sharp later on according to new research appearing in the journal Neurology. Those who stayed physically active well into their later years tended to have a larger brain size than those who didn't workout on a regular basis. This is only the latest research to suggest that exercise is good for your body and brain.
The new study included just about 700 people in the United Kingdom who had brain scans at the age of 73 years old. Three years before this, the participants were questioned about what leisure activities and exercises they did. Those who said they were the most physically active tended to have a bigger brain volume of both gray and normal white matter than did those who were least physically active. Physical activity was also associated with less brain atrophy and appeared to protect against the formation of white matter lesions associated with thinking and memory declines.
Leisure activities that weren't physical didn't appear to do anything for the brain in terms of shrinkage. This suggests that mental activity might be less important than being physically active in terms of keeping the brain healthy and sharp into old age. Of course more work is needed to be sure.
Science tells us that the adult brain typically shrinks in late adulthood, and this is thought to play a role in age related memory decline. Once doctors thought that the brain got less malleable and able to change as you age. But the new thinking is that the brain stays plastic even later in life. So it's never too late to do something to help your brain get stronger and sharper.
Exercise is one of the most potent things we can do to protect the aging brain according to Kirk Erickson, Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh who wasn't part of the study. His own work in this area involved recruiting 120 older, inactive adults who had no evidence of dementia. Half started a modest exercise program that involved walking at a moderate pace for 30 to 45 minutes, three times each week. The other half of the subjects did stretching and toning.

The Best Way To Protect Aging Brain Continued...
One year later, MRI brain scans found that a key part of the brain involved with memory (hippocampus) was slightly larger in the walkers, while it shrank slightly in the stretching group.
Of course the UK research does have limitations you should be aware of; the findings are based on responses to questionnaires, using a subjects' memory which can sometimes be unreliable. There's also the consideration that must be given to the idea that those in better health are able to exercise more than those whose health is in decline.
Beyond aerobic exercises like walking, jogging or biking, there may also be benefit to the older brain from resistance training to build muscle, especially in those with mild cognitive impairment. This type of exercise hasn't been studied so much for its effect on the brain, but research has shown benefits to the body from this type of workout.
If you're looking to keep your own brain sharp (and who isn't?) as the years pass... you've never had more reason to get up and off that couch.
To your good health,
